Devin Desktop adds unified notifications
This week, Devin Desktop shipped one release with several updates. The main change is a unified notifications setting that helps users stay informed about agent session activity. This update is useful for users who need to stay on top of multiple agent sessions at once.
v3.6.1000 (Next) · July 23, 2026
The Devin Desktop release includes a unified notifications setting, codemaps in editor tabs, and a refreshed agent window UI. It also adds keyboard shortcuts for permission requests and improves the agent sidebar. Additionally, the base IDE has been updated to VS Code 1.126. Devin Local has new features such as a guided migration wizard and editable command approvals. Devin Cloud sessions have improved performance and now show the server-side send queue.
Official release notes
Devin Desktop
- Added a unified notifications setting that posts native OS notifications when any agent session finishes or needs your input.
- Codemaps now open in their own editor tabs in agent window mode (home, generation, and individual codemaps), and codemap @-mentions now work in Devin Local.
- Select text inside a message transcript and add it to the chat input with the “Add to chat” button or ⌘L / Ctrl+L.
- Added keyboard shortcuts for permission requests (always-allow and reject), with the shortcut hints shown on the buttons and dropdown entries.
- Refreshed the agent window UI: Inter font by default, web-app icon set at web-app sizing, rounded pill session tabs (with state/PR icons), and smarter pane placement so files no longer cover your session tabs.
- Pull request editor tabs now show a state-specific icon (open, draft, merged, or closed), and session-create cards show a Devin mode badge (Fast, Ultra, Fusion).
- Faster syntax highlighting for streaming diffs, and typing in the input no longer lags while other background sessions stream.
- Agent sidebar improvements: right-click context menus, double-click to rename, per-workspace filters/sort/grouping, greyed-out locked (read-only) sessions, a new-session shortcut hint, and sticky grouped spaces that keep their header.
- Signed-out session tabs now show a “You are signed out” sign-in prompt instead of an endless spinner, and logging out cleans up stale session tabs.
- Editing a past message keeps consistent typography, and the edited prompt stays visible at the bottom after a revert.
- Updated the base IDE to VS Code 1.126
Devin Local
- New “Devin: Open Cascade Migration Wizard” command opens a guided wizard that chains hooks → skills → memories migration in one flow, with per-item opt-in and dry-run previews.
- Worktree sessions now show a Merge button to bring their changes back into the workspace, and you can pick an existing worktree from the agent location selector’s Local submenu.
- New tabs now default to Devin Local when you haven’t chosen a preferred agent (falling back to Cascade if it isn’t available), and Local is selectable in the agent selector while it’s still connecting.
Megaplannow work in Devin Local, switching the session into Plan mode and prompting the agent to plan first.- Editable command approvals: click a command in a permission card to edit it before approving, or use the wand action to describe a change in plain language and have a fast model rewrite it for review.
- Queued messages can now be edited before they send, and editing or reverting a prompt preserves file, directory, skill, and terminal @-mentions.
- Added Rules to the @-mention menu so you can pull a manual-trigger rule into a conversation.
- Added a “Duplicate session” action to the response footer to branch off a conversation, and a “Subagents (Preview)” toggle in Devin settings.
- Response statistics now appear reliably after every turn.
- With “Agent Diff Zones” turned off, Devin Local no longer opens edited files in the background, and closing the last Devin Local tab now opens a fresh session instead of closing the panel.
- Fixed streamed
write/editpreviews creating stray fragment files when a filename contains underscores.
Devin Cloud
- Improved performance for loading Devin Cloud sessions.
- Devin Cloud sessions now show the server-side send queue, kept in sync with the web app; Cmd/Ctrl+Enter queues the next message on the server.
- Multi-user (Slack) sessions now show each participant’s name above their messages.
- A “Copy link” action was added to cloud session menus.
- A “Remote ACP is disconnected” banner with a Reconnect action now appears when the Cloud connection drops.
